Nyamasvisva, Maungira Enharira, Zee Guveya add flair to Magaya’s mbira comeback shows

INTERNATIONALLY-ACCLAIMED United Kingdom-based Zimbabwean mbira musician Linos Wengara Magaya is living his life in Zimbabwe, having lined up four shows in Harare that started on March 20 at Mushandirapamwe Hotel in Highfield, where he serenaded fans with his highly trending hits Fodya and Chaminuka, among others.

Seven days later, he descended on the Theatre in the Park in the Harare Gardens, then on Taita Sports Club Pachindege in Chitungwiza the next day before he closes today at The Grub restaurant in Eastlea.

In an interview with NewsDay Life & Style, Magaya revealed that mbira’s shimmering pulse rises like ancestral breath which is measured through modes which feels magnetic and are deeply evocative when he is performing mbira music.
